Global Internship Program

Exposing UGA's law students to international and transnational law through summer internships in foreign governmental agencies, academic centers, law firms, corporations and NGOs.

Since 2001, the Dean Rusk Center has placed over 200 law students in 30 countries around the world through Georgia Law's Global Internship Program. This unique initiative allows first- and second-year J.D. students at the University of Georgia to venture beyond America's borders to gain experience in legal organizations during a four to twelve-week period.

Past host institutions and organizations have praised the results of the interaction with UGA's law students, not only appreciating the opportunity to network with future American legal professionals but, most importantly, recognizing the actual contributions made by the students during their summer placements. Participants consistently report their experiences to be among the most professionally and personally rewarding of their law school careers, and they often remark how it's the first experience they are asked about in job interviews.

Some recent placements include:

• PSA Legal Counsellors, New Delhi, India
• Clorox Company, Buenos Aires, Argentina
• Supreme Court of Pernambuco, Recife, Brazil
• Attorney General's Office, Georgetown, Guyana
• South Asia Human Rights Documentation Center, New Delhi, India
• University of Papua New Guinea, Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea
• Human Rights League, Bratislava, Slovakia
• International Law Association, Brussels, Belgium
• Haniel Corporation, Duisburg, Germany

Georgia Law's Global Internship Program is UGA's largest international program in terms of geographic reach. It offers sixty placement opportunities in thirty countries on five continents.

Georgia Law's Global Internship Program is currently limited to students enrolled at the UGA School of Law.
